Full disclosure: Some of the stories below are not for the faint of heart.

Without further ado, here are the 20 creepiest places you can find in Michigan. We’ll start by providing a map, so you can get a rough idea of where each location can be found in the state, and then you can read about why each spot is supposedly so haunted or creepy. Be sure to weigh in at the bottom and tell us which site you’d most likely visit.

1.) Mackinac Island (Mission Point, Grand Hotel)

Mackinac tops our list as one of the most haunted places in Michigan. The island is home to more than 100 individual ghost sightings — not to mention, many visitors report that many Mackinac locations “just don’t feel right.” Maybe they’re colder, even in the middle of the summer. Who knows? Ghost sightings have included ghosts of Native Americans, soldiers, students and tourists.

Mission Point Resort and the historic Grand Hotel are among two of the more popular spots for these sightings. One of the most famous ghosts of the island was a student at Mackinac College who supposedly killed himself in the midst of heartbreak. (Did you know? The building where Mission Point now is, used to house the college). Locals report that the ghost now flirts with the female tourists and plays jokes on the men, according to Thought Catalogue.

2.) Traverse City State Hospital

One of the most notoriously haunted places in Michigan is the Traverse City State Hospital. While it was originally established to care for patients with mental illness, its use expanded during outbreaks of polio, influenza and tuberculosis. The institution then closed in 1989.

Some visitors have since reported seeing ghosts, feeling unseen forces and experiencing drastic changes in the air and energy. Bodiless voices from abandoned areas, unexplained lights and footsteps are commonly reported, as well. Another creepy story surrounds a priest of the asylum’s chapel who allegedly hanged himself there. Some say the priest was driven to suicide by dark spirits. Read more inside ClickOnDetroit.

3.) Old City Orphanage (Marquette)

This old Marquette orphanage has a rather ghostly history. Opened in 1915, the orphanage once housed mostly Native American children who were removed from their tribe to accommodate their integration into white culture. The orphanage at one point had fully furnished classrooms, kitchens, dining halls and bathrooms. But urban legend says the place was run by abusive nuns — and you can still hear the children playing.

Children were reported to have been beaten or killed, and one story involves a little girl who caught pneumonia and died from playing outside in a blizzard. As the tale goes, her body was put on display as a lesson to the other children on why not to play outside. Overall, it’s not surprising as to why the building is considered haunted. It’s very large and very creepy, a group called the U.P. Investigators said. Read more inside ClickOnDetroit.

Pere Cheney was once a busy and well-populated sawmill village, according to Thought Catalogue, but the lumberjack town near Grayling was eventually ravaged by smallpox, diphtheria and cholera. Pere Cheney was abandoned sometime after 1912 when the post office closed. Now it has a reputation as a ghost town.

Some say the village was cursed from the beginning, based on the fact that it was built on top of Native American land. Legend has it that neighboring towns tried to burn down Pere Cheney twice in an effort to stop diseases from spreading.

Ghost investigators, as they call themselves, say River Raisin is home to apparitions of soldiers, ghost orbs and even more paranormal activity than one might imagine. These investigators also claim to have captured or recorded voices at the park.

Here’s the deal on the Michigan Bell Telephone Company. It sits on the grounds of a demolished mansion once called the Judd-White House. A man named Warren Randall and his wife Virginia lived there.

Warren, who worked in some capacity on the railroad, lost a leg on the job and required a wooden prosthetic. He started to feel insecure and paranoid about it, so he accused Virginia of having an affair. The two became very unhappy in their marriage as the insecurity issues spiraled. Virginia tried to leave him in 1910, but she eventually came back. As the old story goes, one day, neighbors started to notice a strange smell coming from the house, which led investigators to the couple’s bodies. Warren had beaten Virginia to death with his wooden leg, and then he slit his own throat, according to a Ghosts and History website.

People have since reported hearing screams in this area (which are said to be Virginia’s), seeing strange lights and hearing the thumping sound from Warren’s leg. The Michigan Bell Telephone Company bought the site in 1920 and established the new building four years later. It’s on Grand Rapids’ east side, reportedly at the corner of Fountain and Division.

The history of the Eloise hospital is more like Michigan folklore. At its peak in the 1920s, the Eloise complex was a small city with a hospital and mental asylum, housing 10,000 patients and a staff of about 2,000 workers. The legend of Eloise is still talked about around Metro Detroit, and is even known outside of the state as one of the creepiest places around.

The Eloise began as the Wayne County Poorhouse, which opened in 1839 in the now-defunct Nankin Township. (Nankin was a part of Wayne County, and it included what are now the cities of Livonia, Inkster, Dearborn, Redford, Wayne and Westland). After the Great Depression, the population of the complex started to decrease, as reports of violence, questionable conditions, misconduct and overall neglect surfaced. The main hospital then closed in 1984.

Visitors started to report odd occurrences on the hospital grounds after Eloise was shuttered. Some found medical waste and other strange items. Others reported finding jars containing human body parts, as well as documents outlining strange medical procedures. A group recently claimed to have seen a spirit of a woman wearing white, often on the building’s upper floors and roof.

Others claimed to hear moaning, screams and roars throughout the old grounds. Some believe these are the souls of tormented patients. The old Eloise graveyard is also said to be haunted. The Dearborn Paranormal Research Society of Michigan has conducted investigations at Eloise, as well. Read more inside ClickOnDetroit.

The Masonic Temple seems to top many Michigan lists for the spookiest and most haunted places in the state. George D. Mason, who built the temple, reportedly jumped to his death from the building in 1948. Could his ghost be walking the roof? Some security guards seem to think so.

The 1912 temple is a pretty cool building, with many compartments, passageways, more than 1,000 rooms and plenty of hidden staircases. Visitors have also reported hearing strange noises including doors and windows being slammed shut — and seeing moving shadows. “Cold spots” have been experienced, as well.

Frank Henderson had the castle built for his wife, Mary Henderson, in 1895. Frank died in 1899. Mary stayed until 1908. Visitors say they’ve seen the couple, a war veteran who served with the Hendersons’ son and a strange girl. Mary is often spotted at the top of a first flight of stairs. Other people say they’ve felt a tapping on their arms, heard the words “go away” and doors jolting around when they’re supposed to be locked.

The castle is now being used as a bed and breakfast, a wedding venue and a winery. It’s been featured in three scary movies, including “Into the Woods,” according to published reports.

At Bruce Mansion, several of the building’s owners have either died at the house or somewhere on the grounds, according to Thought Catalogue. When the Waite family bought the mansion in 2009, relatives reported that its past occupants — who, just to be totally clear, were dead — had never left. The family called paranormal investigators to see what was up.

When a team came to the mansion for a 2011 investigation, a group member was pushed (it was caught on a recording, allegedly), and then another video camera toppled off its tripod as it captured the voice of a child saying, “Grandpa.”

Eeeeek.

The home used to offer ghost tours, but those are now a thing of the past.

12.) Historic Fort Wayne (Detroit)

Detroit’s Historic Fort Wayne has long been rumored to house some restless souls of the past. Many have taken the four-hour tour at night to try and see them and record them. Last October, Local 4’s Jason Colthorp braved a tour to hear for himself — and at one point, he asks if anyone else is with him.

The Paulding Lights are also sometimes called the Lights of Paulding or the Dog Meadow Lights. Regardless, the lights supposedly appear in a valley outside of Paulding, Michigan, in the state’s Upper Peninsula. Reports have been coming in since the 1960s regarding what might be behind these mysterious lights: Is it ghosts? Aliens? Geologic activity?

The Paulding Lights cannot be explained, the Syfy Channel’s “Fact or Faked: Paranormal Files” determined in 2010. A crew came out to scope for possible paranormal activity, and it seems as though the group wasn’t really sure what to make of the situation.

However, Michigan Tech students conducted an experiment and saw car headlights and taillights when viewing the Paulding Light through a telescope. So, maybe that solves it?

The lights are usually white or red, sometimes even green, and often seen floating along the telephone wires. Some say this is the spirit of a Native American, dancing atop the power lines. Unless you buy the Michigan Tech explanation (which seems logical enough, so why not?) we just may never know.

In a nutshell, in the 1800s, a man named Elias Friske — who many in the town had actually deemed “friendly” — went on a rampage, killing a group of children and saying that demons made him do it. As the story goes, that’s what’s now haunting Hell’s Bridge.

15.) The Whitney (Detroit)

David Whitney Jr. and his first wife Flora are supposedly haunting this fancy and classic Detroit establishment. Here’s the tale behind this one: Flora always wanted to live in a mansion, but she died before the home was completed. David then married Flora’s sister Sara, so now Flora haunts the house to fulfill her dream of staying at the mansion, according to published reports.

David died there as well, so his spirit still lingers inside the house.

The mansion, which is about 21,000 square feet, has nearly 220 windows, 20 fireplaces and an elevator that has reportedly moved on its own — as in, without any riders on board. Supposedly, the phenomenon has been caught on camera.

16.) Historic Holly Hotel (Holly)

Could it be? An active haunted hotel? The Holly Hotel seems to believe so, saying strange occurrences continue to happen throughout the building.

“The ghostly residents seem to follow certain ‘habits,’ and even if one is ignorant to the fact that the restaurant is haunted, their experience will often fit into a known set of occurrences,” the hotel’s website says. “For example, many people have smelled cigar smoke, even though they didn’t know that original owner of the Inn smoked cigars. The descriptions of flowery perfume is often strikingly similar as well, and, for some reason, the meat cleaver is the favorite toy for a little girl’s spirit who still plays in the kitchen and on the banquet room steps.” Read more.

17.) Old Presque Isle Lighthouse

Lorraine and George Parris moved into the historic monument after the Old Presque Isle Lighthouse was replaced by the New Presque Isle Lighthouse — about 20 miles south of Rogers City.

The Parrises were caretakers of the building, and they spent their retirement years caring for the property and welcoming visitors to the site.

George eventually died — and one evening in May 1992, just as Lorraine was driving back to the lighthouse and thinking of her late husband, she saw that the light in the tower was on. But the light had been permanently disconnected in 1979, so how could that be? George had disconnected it himself, with the help of the Coast Guard.

Lorraine didn’t tell anyone, but then she kept seeing the light flicker on from the lantern room. It was never visible from the station grounds, but only from across the harbor, as the story goes, according to Lighthouse Digest Magazine.

Once Lorraine started telling people, the news spread like crazy. The Coast Guard couldn’t explain it, nor could anyone else. Perhaps this was a sign from George, communicating that he was back and staying in the area to watch over Lorraine. Some people even reported seeing a figure of a person inside the lantern room. Lorraine said there were other unexplained occurrences, such as the time she woke up to the smell of breakfast cooking. George loved breakfast, she said.

18.) Bath, Michigan

Hold onto your seat: Have you heard of the Bath massacre? This is brutal. On May 18, 1927, a 55-year-old farmer named Andrew Kehoe killed his wife (who was dying from tuberculosis) in dramatic fashion, all the animals on his farm, he burned his house down and then proceeded to the elementary school in town, where he set off 500 pounds of dynamite. (All because he opposed an upcoming city millage that would raise taxes, apparently. Oh, and his farm was facing foreclosure due to property tax issues).

The blast killed students and teachers alike. When the superintendent tried to wave Kehoe over, Kehoe ignited another round and misfired, killing himself, the superintendent and eight more students. The final death toll was 44 — many of whom were children — with nearly 60 hurt. The attack had been planned for months, allegedly.

Many visitors say you can smell the smoke still in the air, and some people have even had their hands held by child spirits while walking away from the school, supposedly.

“We have moved to Bath and there is definitely a strange atmosphere there,” a writer on the website Michigan PRA said. “We … experienced stomach pains and such. We will be conducting an investigation ASAP. Update: The place is prone to EVPs [electronic voice phenomenon], however, there is a sense of calm and rest — (I’m) glad the children aren’t stuck there.”

The haunted Old Mill Museum, in Dundee, has served as a hydroelectric plant and a fabricating factory. Henry Ford himself even used the building at one point. Today, you can still tour the museum, and although no one has died inside, it’s a hotbed for spooky and paranormal activity, according to the website Onlyinyourstate.com.

Water, limestone, a power generator and the abundance of antique items are said to increase the presence of paranormal energy. If you’re that curious, you can book a private or group tour and learn more for yourself. There’s even a family-friendly version that takes place during the day.

20.) South Lyon Hotel (South Lyon)

The haunted rumors surrounding this hotel stem from when the building was built on the site of an old cemetery. It’s been said that two men moved all the bodies to a new location for $2.50 per body. Once all of the bodies were removed, the hotel was constructed.

Another possible reason is a fire that erupted in 1977. One person died, but the building survived. It was then converted into a restaurant and bar, which seems to be attempting a comeback as of late — in fact, on its website, it says the South Lyon eatery should have been back open by this summer (although it doesn’t appear that has happened on time).
